Energy efficiency benchmarking methodology
This European Standard specifies requirements and provides recommendations for energy efficiency benchmarking methodology. The purpose of energy efficiency benchmarking is to establish the relevant data and indicators on energy consumption, both technical and behavioural, qualitative and quantitative in comparing performance between or within entities.
Energy efficiency benchmarking can be either internal (within a specific organisation) or external (between organisations including competitors). This standard describes how to establish the boundaries of what is being benchmarked, including for example facilities, activities, processes, products, services and organisations.
This European Standard provides guidance on the criteria to be used in order to choose the appropriate level of detail for the data collection, processing and reviewing which suits the objective of the benchmarking.
This European Standard does not itself state specific performance requirements with respect to energy use. For all activities related to the continual improvement cycle (such as the Plan-Do-Check-Act methodology) reference shall be made to management systems in the organisation.
Energieeffizienz-Benchmarking-Methodik
Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen an eine Energieeffizienz-Benchmarking-Methodik fest und gibt die entsprechenden Empfehlungen. Zweck des Energieeffizienz-Benchmarkings ist es, durch den Vergleich der Leistung zwischen oder innerhalb von Einheiten die maßgeblichen Daten und Indikatoren zum Energieverbrauch sowohl in technischer als auch in verhaltensbestimmter sowie in quantitativer wie qualitativer Hinsicht festzulegen.
Energieeffizienz-Benchmarking kann entweder intern (innerhalb einer bestimmten Organisation) oder extern (zwischen Organisationen einschließlich Mitbewerbern) erfolgen. Diese Norm beschreibt, wie die Grenzen dessen, worauf sich das Benchmarking bezieht, ermittelt werden, z. B. Einrichtungen, Tätigkeiten, Prozesse, Produkte, Dienstleistungen und Organisationen.
Diese Europäische Norm stellt Leitlinien zu den Kriterien bereit, die anzusetzen sind, um einen angemessenen, zur Zielstellung des Benchmarkings passenden Detaillie¬rungsgrad für die Erhebung, die Verarbeitung und die Überprüfung der Daten auszuwählen.
Diese Europäische Norm legt für sich genommen keine spezifischen Leistungsanforderungen hinsichtlich des Energie¬einsatzes fest. Bei sämtlichen Tätigkeiten, die sich auf den fortwährenden Verbesserungszyklus (z. B. die Plan-Do-Check-Act-Methodik) beziehen, ist der Bezug zu den Managementsystemen innerhalb der Organisation herzustellen.
Méthodologie de benchmarking de l'efficacité énergétique
La présente Norme européenne fixe les exigences et fournit des recommandations pour une méthodologie de benchmarking de l'efficacité énergétique. L'objectif du benchmarking de l'efficacité énergétique est d'établir les données et les indicateurs pertinents sur la consommation d’énergie, techniques et comportementaux, qualitatifs et quantitatifs en comparant la performance entre des entités ou en leur sein.
Le benchmarking de l'efficacité énergétique peut être interne (au sein d'un organisme spécifique) ou bien externe (entre organismes y compris concurrents). La présente Norme décrit comment établir les périmètres de ce qui est soumis au benchmarking, par exemple des infrastructures, des activités, des procédés de fabrication, des produits, des services et des organismes.
La présente Norme européenne fournit des recommandations sur les critères à utiliser afin de choisir le niveau approprié de détail pour le recueil, le traitement et la révision des données adaptés à l'objectif du benchmarking.
La présente Norme européenne n'indique pas en soi d'exigences spécifiques de performance en ce qui concerne l'usage énergétique. Pour toutes les activités liées au cycle d'amélioration continue (par exemple la méthodologie PDCA [Plan-Do-Check-Act, Planifier-Faire-Vérifier-Agir]), il doit être fait référence aux systèmes de management au sein de l'organisme.
Metodologija za primerjalno analizo energijske učinkovitosti
Evropski standard določa zahteve in zagotavlja priporočila za metodologija za primerjalno analizo energijske učinkovitosti. Namen določanja referenčnih vrednosti energijske učinkovitosti je določiti ustrezne podatke in indikatorje o porabi energije s tehničnega, vedenjskega, kvalitativnega in kvantitativnega vidika, pri čemer se primerja učinkovitost delovanja med enotami in v njih. Določanje referenčnih vrednosti energijske učinkovitosti je lahko notranje (znotraj določene organizacije) ali zunanje (med organizacijami s konkurenti). V tem standardu je opisano, kako postaviti meje za elemente, za katere so se določile referenčne vrednosti energijskih vrednosti, vključno na primer z vzorčnimi objekti, dejavnostmi, postopki, izdelki, storitvami in organizacijami. Ta evropski standard zagotavlja navodila o merilih, ki se bodo uporabila za izbiro ustrezne ravni podrobnosti za zbiranje, obdelavo in pregledovanje podatkov, ki ustrezajo cilju določanja referenčnih vrednosti. V tem evropskem standardu niso navedene posebne zahteve učinkovitosti delovanja v zvezi z rabo energije. Za vse dejavnosti, ki se nanašajo na cikel nenehnih izboljšav (kot je metodologija »načrtuj, naredi, preveri, ukrepaj« (PDCA)), je potrebno sklicevanje na sisteme upravljanja v organizaciji.

The benchmarked entity can be a facility, an activity, a process, a product, a service or an organisation. Energy efficiency benchmarking is related to energy management, energy audits and energy efficiency calculation methods. The benchmarking methodology model for this standard is shown with the main steps in Figure 1.
Figure 1 — Benchmarking methodology model The basis of the approach can be briefly described as follows: — purpose & planning (see 4.2.1): define the objectives for the benchmarking, including definition and select the approach and type of benchmarking, produce a project plan and assign resources; — data collection & verification (see 4.2.2): agree on data collection method, collect and verify data and collate the findings to enable analysis; — analysis & results (see 4.2.3): assess current performance levels, produce tables, charts and graphs to support analysis and seek explanations for the differences in performance; — reporting (see 4.2.4): communicate results including lessons learned.
This European Standard does not itself state specific performance requirements with respect to energy use. For all activities related to the continual improvement cycle (such as the Plan-Do-Check-Act methodology) reference shall be made to management systems in the organisation. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. No normative references are cited. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1 benchmark reference or standard value for comparison derived from benchmarking 3.2 benchmarking process of collecting, analysing and relating performance data of comparable activities with the purpose of evaluating and comparing performance between or within entities
Note 1 to entry: Different types of benchmarking exist, ranging from internal benchmarking to establishing the "best in industry/sector" performance. Internal benchmarking is looking for differences in energy efficiency within an organisation and highlighting best practices for dissemination to other parts of that organisation. External benchmarking may be used to establish a range of energy performance indicators for an installation/facility or a specific product/service in the same field or sector.
3.3 benchmarking boundary limit to the process installation, facility, product, building or organisation being benchmarked
Note 1 to entry: The boundary may relate to a single process installation or facility, a finished product, a single building (including all the products or processes carried on inside that building), a division or operational unit of an organisation, or an entire organisation or group of organisations. Note 2 to entry: The energy efficiency of an installation/facility or a specific product depends on the boundary of the process that is being benchmarked and how all energy flows, feedstock(s)/raw material(s) and (by)product(s) crossing the boundary of the process installation are to be taken into account.
Note 1 to entry: Although technically incorrect, energy consumption is a widely used term. Note 2 to entry: The manner or kind of application of energy is expressed as energy use. 3.8 energy efficiency ratio or other quantitative relationship between an output of performance, service, goods or energy, and an input of energy EXAMPLE Conversion efficiency; energy required/energy used; output/input; theoretical energy used to operate/energy used to operate. Note 1 to entry: Both input and output need to be clearly specified in quantity and quality, and be measurable. Note 2 to entry: Energy efficiency is commonly used with the meaning of "optimum energy efficiency" namely "to operate (an entity) with the minimum energy consumption".
Note 3 to entry: Commonly used sense of energy efficiency is doing at least the same with less energy. Note 4 to entry: In energy efficiency benchmarking, energy efficiency is usually based on the specific energy consumption of the manufacture or supply of the product, activity or service being benchmarked and is expressed for example as GJ/tonne or GJ/standard activity. 3.9
